About Rick

We love to golf, walk and attend sporting events of all kinds. We've chosen Chandler as our future winter home, but until then we decided to share it with others.

Rick purchased this house in 2011

Why Rick chose Ocotillo

After spending time in different areas of Phoenix, we fell in love with the Ocotillo neighborhood for it's natural beauty, proximity to major sporting events, restaurants and shopping. We have used VRBO many times ourselves and found it to be a wonderful way to travel, hopefully we can provide that same experience to others.

What makes this house unique

The neighborhood lakes and greenspaces are great for walking, biking and jogging and provide a great backdrop for a morning or evening stroll. The 27 hole Ocotillo Golf

and Country Club is a neighborhood treasure for golfers and non-golfers alike.

This home is 2,200 Sq Ft on one level and has no stairs. There is an office off the master bedroom with a beautiful oak desk and chair. Home has been beautifully decorated with many upgrades, new Travertine tile, freshly painted and very clean.

Fantastic property in Ocotillo

Great home with all comforts. Wonderful outdoor patio and pool make this the perfect vacation home away from home. Look forward to returning for sure!

Owner's Response: Thanks Alan,
We appreciate the nice review. Even in the cooler December temperatures it's still nice to sit outside and enjoy the backyard - I hope you had time for a dip in the heated pool. We hope to see you back again soon, you'll always be welcome anytime.

Great Chandler Experience

The property is clean, comfortable, well equipped and centrally located. Lot's of malls within 10 minutes of driving. Groceries are minutes away.The owners are very caring and responsive to any inquiries. We have rented it again in the Spring as our stay was excellent. Highly recommend the property!

Owner's Response: Nice words Bruce . . . we enjoyed having you and Anne stay and are certainly looking forward to your spring visit. Also, thanks for leaving the house in such great shape. The house really is in the middle of some great shopping and restaurants and it sounded like you guys got out and about.

Excellent stay - great owner.

We stayed 2 weeks at Rick and Viv's in Ocotillo and loved it! The house was spotless clean and the kitchen was very well equipped - including every spice I ever needed. The pool was lovely and the back yard was beautiful although the fruit wasn't in season yet so we didn't get to try the grapefruit, hopefully next time. The neighborhood was great for walks and we used the bikes that were provided to ride around, we felt very safe in this area. We will be back.

Owner's Response: Thanks Emil, you guys were great guests. I'm glad it was hot so you had a chance to use the pool, some late season great weather is always nice. We try to provide as many things as people require and a well stocked kitchen is a must. I hope to see you again in the future.

Not a great experience

The main reason I'm writing this review is the fact that the owner withheld a portion of our security deposit and, in my opinion, was completely unjustified in doing so. He claimed we were responsible for some minor damage to the kitchen sink. We explained that the damage was clearly present when we checked in but he withheld the funds anyway (I can only conclude he believes we were lying). Add to this the facts that we rented the property for two full months and had already paid a pretty considerable amount of money and took very good care of the property.

This property itself is so-so. We had scorpions in the house the first few days after checking in, the pest control company came and we only saw one more after that although we had to put up with ugly bug traps at all the outside doorways for the remainder of our stay. The owner has the closet in the Master Bdrm locked off and, because we stayed for 2 full months, this was a major pain having to live out of two bedrooms the entire time. The Master Bath is also a strange layout, no door to the bathroom, no door to the john.

If you enjoy sitting outside the backyard will disappoint, dead grass, dirty trees, and very old lawn furniture.

On the plus side, the house was clean and the kitchen was pretty well stocked. I have to say that other than the withheld funds the owner was OK to work with. I just do not understand his position on keeping the deposit funds.

Owner's Response: 6 years and 36 - 5 star reviews should tell the true story. Despite constant attempts at contact to ensure things were going well during their stay, we received almost no response from these guests. I certainly hope future landlords have better luck with these tenants than we did. They were extremely hard to communicate with and not very clean, we spent considerable time bringing the house back to standards afterward. The damaged Corian counter top was reported by the maid on their departure, they denied the damage but the maid was adamant it was not there after the previous guests departed so I made a judgement call - I only charged them $75 for the repair - hardly an outrageous sum and only the second time a renter has ever been charged for anything. Other claims are just sour grapes, as our other guests and reviewers have reported nothing but good experiences. I wish a more mature response would have been attempted or a phone call to discuss the issues, but again, nothing was said. This really is a case of a disgruntled person that was only disgruntled after a minor dispute. You can't please everyone it seems.

Great Arizona Vacation

Good quiet neighborhood and very well maintained property. Enjoyed our April stay immensely. Many amenities are provided for and Rick takes care of any issue immediately.

Owner's Response: We were glad to have you stay and would welcome a return visit anytime. We've already started our most recent renovations with a complete painting of the outside of the house and fence, you'll have to come back next year to see, the new colors look great.

Our Home Away From Home

We stayed in the fantastic home for the month of March and absolutely love this place for its location, functionality and just as important, communicating with Rick, who is reachable at all times and his timely responses to inquiries were most appreciated. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is definitely equipped and it's nice to see how renters contribute great spices, etc. We used the heated pool daily, BBQ'd and even rode the bikes provided. Thanks again for another great visit, Rick and we look forward to next year!!!

Owner's Response: A comfortable home is what we have tried to provide and the positive feedback shows we've managed to accomplish just that. We love having you guys stay with us every year. It's a good feeling to know that you take care of the house as if it were your own. Thanks and we'll see you next year.

Our home is situated in a residential golf course community and is surrounded by lakes as part of the Ocotillo residential golf community. This is a very safe and desirable neighborhood that's great for biking, jogging and walking. The phoenix area is fantastic for all major sports and recreation and are within 30 minutes of our home. Although this is a desert area, downhill skiing is within 2 hours and great boating and fishing are an easy 1 hour drive. Intel Corp and Orbital are within walking distance as well. Shopping centers, Outlet Malls, bars and restaurants abound and are in close proximity. Phoenix Sky Harbor airport is an easy 20 min drive from our home. Mesa Gateway airport is even closer at 15 minutes.

We appreciate your participation and assistance with our efforts to operate the most secure and trusted vacation rental marketplace in the industry
